- Yes, but only if you run a single BBS package behind your mailer. My
- setup is a bit more complex than this. I run a BBS switcher called Option
- behind my mailer (either BT or FD). From the switcher, users have four
- different selections that run different software. When a user leaves one
- package, they go back to Option where they can select another until they
- decide to say BYE and leave totally.

- Perhaps for your setup, but it definitely is necessary for mine. ;-)

- How so? I don't run *any* BBS package directly behind my mailer. I
- described *my* peculiar setup only. Other's miliage will no doubt vary
- from mine... ;-)
